But I am not sure where the sitting 2 years thing comes from. I said he could always go play for a JUCO. And he could do that without sitting out a year.

Yeah, I was wondering what the heck he was talking about. Has UD ever had a player not make the floor two years in row because of academics? I don't remember any. I'm guessing they do some evaluation prior to handing them a scholarship and don't just assume that anyone will catch up sitting one year.
Also, if an academic redshirt isn't meeting the requirements layed out for him, would they still allow him to be on the bench during home games?
